The Director of Photography in this show is brilliant the framing, lighting and tonality is beyond compare. I know that it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but the wide shots and low angles are absolutely beautiful. You can pick up the different lighting tones for each character within their environment, female lead has warm colors, offset by shots of the male character living in cool colors. There's one scene that beautifully has lighting in the background that reflects the party colors of the people in the room. It's so subtle, but creates such an amazing atmosphere for the entire show.
This show literally sets the bar for other dramas, and I doubt any will surpass it .The sharp writing, a strong female presence and wittiness, this Drama is one of my favorites from 2020. Worth watching for a tongue in cheek/cat and mouse political drama and intrigue full of thoughtful moments that don't get bogged down in melodrama.
The actors are also on point in every scene, and despite the romance being in the backseat, the playful chemistry is perfect. I've never seen Nana in anything before, but her facial expressions are pure gold, and her comedy timing is put to good use. Crazy amazing chemistry between the two leads, the like of which I have never seen before. This is a classic you'll want to watch over and over again.
